Running, Cycle Touring and Roaming with Simple Living and Slow Travel
August 25 - Connemara National Park Today was a roaming day with a slight twist. We thought we might get on the bikes again but that plan didn’t happen, so a roaming/rambling/hiking we went instead. Sunshine greeted us this morning as we hit the road for our Sunday outing. Not wanting to get ourselves too... Continue Reading →
August 24 - Limerick to Oranmore After another quick run on the treadie this morning, we packed up, set off and hit the road. We were going to continue along the Wild Atlantic Way heading north. We motored off, away from Limerick, deciding not to repeat the battle with the traffic and streets of yesterday.... Continue Reading →
August 23 - Tralee to Limerick You will see from above, that our pit stop today was Limerick. So, just for a bit of silliness, I bring you today’s instalment entirely in the structure of limericks. Apologies for my questionable literary skills, but… y’know, it had to be done! Two Tasmanians set off to explore... Continue Reading →
August 22 - Killarney to Tralee Ever been somewhere and had that feeling where you just want to keep looking over your shoulder? Ever stood in a room and felt a bit of a shiver and you want to turn around and check behind you? Ever had that kind of creepy feeling? Or is it... Continue Reading →
August 21 - Glengarriff to Killarney No pedal again today, so we decided to ramble instead. We hit the road under grey skies and motored through the little village of Glengarriff and the scenery continued to be spectacular, with the rugged hills and coastline on either side of us, then through rock tunnels in the...

August 20 - Skibbereen to Glengarriff Following the Wild Atlantic Way route is taking us into the wild west of Ireland, into just the scenery we’ve been wanting to find and it certainly delivered today. We had rocky hills, rugged coastline and sweeping, panoramic views. Magical. After some early rain, the day became an absolute... Continue Reading →
August 19 - Little Island to Skibbereen You can keep your isobars and your barometric pressures and your low front this and high pressure that. Yeah, there are specific, technical, accurate meteorological terms, but they aren’t a patch on the language that’s used on the ground. As I’ve mentioned before, our all time favourite weather...

August 18 - Waterford to Little Island When you look outside first thing in the morning and see a clear sky and a glint of sunshine, well ain’t that just a great looking day right there! We had that as our start and a great day did indeed continue. We drove down to Kilmacthomas to... Continue Reading →
August 17 - Gorey to Waterford Sunshine! Yep, we were greeted this morning, most definitely, by sunshine! We stepped outside and soon realised that sunshine doesn’t necessarily mean it will be warm, because it wasn’t. A definite nip in the air and a partying wind a blowin’ but clear skies and it all looked set... Continue Reading →
August 16 - Dublin to Gorey Hills are easy when you have an extra pair of wheels. Hills are also easy when you have an engine. We did the hills easy today. Today we implemented Stage 2 of our cunning plan, so today was day one of the “Van Plan”. If there was going to... Continue Reading →
Run. Ride. Roam.
